Managed a couple of hours at the allotment - I'm not very fit, and the air is still cold on the lungs out there. There wasn't a soul there for most of the time, then Allotment Chief arrived - he's a bit of a PITA. Why was I buying ready amde raised beds when you could get scaffolding planks, people would help me build them etc, etc. Nobody is ever there at the same time as I am, for a start. And I prefer to do things for myself.
Here's the allotment:
I planted my broad beans - please note fork handle:
And here is the allotment of the obsessive bloke at the back of mine - blimey!
Gosh Goldi, his looks very regimented and organised.. I don't do organised, well not very often. I can be very organised if I choose to be, but soon get bored with it and something more interesting catches my eye.
Had an easy day today. Spent a lot of it tryig to find room for things on window ledges and in GH.
Have marked out an extension to my white border - quite pleased with it. By the time I have put the shrubs I have in it will just need filling with perennials, bulbs etc.
Afternoon, is everyone off doing family stuff? I'm watching Peter Pan. Did step outside but not warm enough for me to garden, hate gardening in gloves and snow made my hands too cold.
I was hoping for Dustin Hoffman as Hook, but it's a later version, still enjoying it though. I like kids films, remember when we used to have Disney Time for bank holidays? Don't need it now with so much other TV coverage and DVDs.

If you would like to be neighbourly you could tell him that his nice shade of blue will attract Bees

Have come in for a little break and to prepare rhubarb. Seems as if everyone's busy busy today. Hope you're having fun, whatever you're up to
